Needs a lot of work Adequate is probably the best description as to the effectiveness of the Thrive app. It randomly can't find my hearing aids (despite them being next to the 'phone). Volume conrol sometimes only works on one ( but I can control both manually). Other ad hoc bizzare behaviour necessitating uninstalling the app, downloading again and re-setting. Usually works for a few weeks until something else goes wrong...then repeat process. App needs some serious work to bring it to an acceptable, functional level!

The hearing aids are easy to place in… The hearing aids are easy to place in the ears, and easy to recharge. The Starkey app on our iPhone works great in adjusting to the environment. The main problem we had was making sure our iPhones had separate apple accounts so they could connect properly. Dr and Mrs Duane Dolejsi

Faulty hearing aids Purchased Starkey hearing aids through ihear it was the worst experience in my life, the hearing aids has never worked properly always echoing back into the ear we took them back many times to be repaired when we received them back same issue arose. It's been nearly 5 years and I never used the aids for more than a day they sat in the box.

Best customer service ever!!!!!! I contacted starkey direct and didn't get a fast response to my query, so I contacted them again, to my astonishment one of the management team (Lesley) answered my email. This lady made me feel like her priority, she could not do enough to help me and went absolutely above and beyond!!!!! All my life I have worked in customer service and unfortunately most places are a let down or average at best..... Lesley has been absolutely fantastic throughout and a credit to the company she works for!!! UNBELIEVABLE

They squeal a lot They squeal a lot. Just getting next to something, like inside a car or next to a kitchen cabinet set off the squealing. It is uncomfortable just to reach up to take them out because of the squealing caused by my hand. There needs to be a better filter to stop all the noise of knives and forks clanking on the plates, because all I hear at dinner is plates clanking, and my self chewing. I am effectively deaf at any dining situation.
